Amazing. The forum software gets more updates than WvW.

where? more than 2 years and forum search still doesn’t work. I hope the webmaster was fired instatly.
and now also everything is getting archivied( harder to find). GJ as always.

ask youself why after megaserver trasfer fee for www is still in place.

Because back in the days before the transfer fee was added WvW was in an even worse state than it is now?

what are you talking about ? transfer fee is here from the closed beta i played…

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-04-25-guild-wars-2s-world-server-transfer-system-explained

it’s amazing…nothing changed…well i was expecting that.

i will just copy/paste my old post

“because this bring more money to Anet from trasfers. why someone should transfer if its all good? Anet and have no interest to fix that even if they make a CDI to talk about population , thats why population will be always unbalanced.”

ask youself why after megaserver trasfer fee for www is still in place.

do you understand you all wasted so many times writing 1,2k replies?

the solution would be simple :
1) merge empty server ( anet do not want do that simpli because its a fail admission)
2) give to all free trasfer ( yes because it not about the “staking” , i think ppl doesnt care if have to spend some money to trasfer but if they do they want to be sure its for a better situation. Why should i waste money to “try” a lower tier where its a desert.
Ofc they dont do this becuase….read above…
3)rework MU

Stand still and do nothing , things are totally different.

maybe something like this first ?
before clutter screen more?

Mobas are popular because they are extremely easy to follow and understand. Even the concept of how to play one is extremely easy because of the minimal amount of buttons you need to use.

That is why it is an esport.

GW2 is far more complicated and extremely hard to follow unless you PvP a lot and know what is going on.

I don’t play LoL anymore. I still watch Worlds. It’s extremely easy to understand what is happening.

People think it is all because there aren’t many game mode or not enough maps. Or even poor balance and no events going on. It’s all bullkitten. It’s due to complexity of the game itself. There are factors that could make it more popular and easier to watch, but it will never be LoL because of complexity.

LOL this is a bullkitten.
I do not play lol but i have been playing SMITE (first person WSAD moba) and GW2…and i can tell you SMITE pvp is much more deep than gw2….a lot of items(not 3 traits based on class)…a lot of gods(gods=class, 58gods and more are realsing) not 8 class…..many game modes…1 change every week based on player feedback….and all this things overall give you a better competitive evolving environment….and smite is a FTP game. Ppl dont like gw 2 anymore beacuse its stale, after 2 year ( same age of smite) its the same pvp…
and….
esport = Electronic sports (or esports) is a term for organized video game competitions, especially between professionals.

gw2 is made for casuals.

The ignorance is real.

I’m talking about the complexity of gameplay. Smite gameplay is not complex. It’s a very simple, easy to follow task. Players have minimal abilities to use and it’s extremely easy to follow what someone is doing.

Also, please..how mad are you right now? Judging from your post you seem very angry about what I said.

gameplay complexity? you mean the unbalanced,uncountered class/skill? well yes that is hard to deal……….

Your ignorance is far more than I had anticipated.

We’re not talking about balance. Complexity of gameplay is not balance.

If you don’t understand what complexity of gameplay is either you should go back to basic English to understand common words such as that, or you should consider a new hobby.

Ofc i was trolling you….
bla bla….gameplay complexity gameplay complexity….its just too vague..its different from game to game…you are the ignorant here….you keep reapting this,insulting without argumenting….so what so hard to you in this game? combo? lol . If you cant understand a game playable by 10year old you should go back to daycare.

well maybe its not on topic , but reading this thread i start think would be good for GW2 and WvWvW to have every boss encounter in every tower keep more challenging(maybe with some things to do before smash the lord,something like Lineage2). This will give wvwvw more strategy , longer fight,chance to turn the tide of battle , less karma train, maybe split zergs etc….

because this bring more money to Anet from trasfers. why someone should transfer if its all good? Anet and have no interest to fix that even if they make a CDI to talk about population , thats why population will be always unbalanced.

Unhappyness due to queue and overpopulated buf, instead of overpopulated buf will cause transfers and with it income for ANet.

on a side or on the other side( becuase empty roflstomped server) … its always unhappinees that bring a player to transfer

this somewhere started in spvp forum (dont know where the post is , search doesn’t work) from a guy asking to a dev to add a bank in HOTM for pvp player….you know how ended ? XD
we will soon have more stuff in gemstore to spawn a bank aahahaha XD

Stephane Lo Presti.7258:

Hey everyone,

While this is currently working as intended, it’s definitely something that we’ll be working on and tweaking in the future. We want you to be able to enjoy your minis so hang in there!

I was in Plains of Ashford. I couldn’t see any players around me, at all. Tried to display my mini…and got told the map was too full.

I moved to Wayfarer where the Maw event was active. I stood with the zerg and all of a sudden my minipet popped out. Almost everyone seemed to have one. Might I just say the same scenario happens with Tequatl, and an even bigger zerg, for me at least.

So, if this is indeed “working as intended”, ArenaNet have somewhat dropped the ball again. Not that you can see the ball, there are too many people here. Notwithstanding this, why doesn’t your “working as intended” system not take into account the number of players who are actually near you, rather than how busy the map is? I can completely understand minis being hidden when I’m with the zerg…but this seems to work the complete opposite to how anyone would expect.

probably because it is the easiest solution for them. The variable X (X = number of players in the area) is already calculated and used for other functions …. instead introduce a check around the character requires many more controls = much more load.

ahah well…epic move Anet….what i would do ( i dont have any kind of mini) is asking a refund to anet for all the mini in game since they are useless now…well… they always been useless nothings you cant live without xD…

Boulou.4023:

Edge of the Mists IS KILLING WvW …..
Edge of the Mists should be closed when the 4 WvWvW maps arent full….

this is another good point. For that that map was created. To let ppl do something while stuck in queue. And now what we have ? there are more players in eotm( and overflow)than the regular wvwvw. EOTM = FAIL

I also as wvwvw player stopped to play recently(played from closed beta)…i lost any kind of fun to join an empy laggy map….i’m playing SMITE ( inb4 infraction for talking about other game like the 10 or post over me) and i find it amazing fun , pvp depth , in a very good pvp envioremnt with a lot of game mode(well its not a RvR :P but…). Also its free.
I wont come back until some decent change.Wont even download the feature patch. But i will keep coming back to check forums ( yeah everyone know that forum know before than official annoucement) and site in a hope ,some days, Anet wake up.

Baldrick.8967:

Laggy on both SFR and Desolation. It happens every time they hold a tournament for spvp or are presenting at a games show- they remove server capacity and processing power from everything else to ensure spvp runs without the lags we get left with in wvw.

things are strange here…you are right every time there is something patch, tournament etc we get huge lag and the fact that there are no word of ANET on this matter sound like an approval.
Time ago i heard there are like 2 datacenter 1 in NA and 1 in EU(same problem occured with server association and ticket reward.).
Might be the eu datacenter having problem( low resource…etc.)?

Buran.3796:

The game is not dead (PvE). But WvW and PvP? Utterly.

perfect answer +1

where are white knights (yes talking to you mr vayne) now who say we are in the summer?
ah right for me summer end on 21th sept
ahahahahah

For me this is ok. Should have been in place from start ofc. Its a fair logic. And now it will somehow change market price….and this is bad. What we have here are just a bunch of 11111guardian(ofc before was an advantage,i made a zerg staff guardian just to farm) crying because now they are almost on the same levels of other in term of drops reward/gold gain.

my real concern is about precursors…i guess making them account bound/soulbound will solve the problem.

edit: i play all class

aceboogie.4031:

Im making this post bc of one i just commented on seeing a mesmer hit for 34k.

I hit around 60+k on 100B in Coe on the stairs of p2 and p3 right before alpha 2nd encounter.

It would be nice to know the damage potential of each class. im getting bored of the warrior, so it would be cool to know how much damage every class can do.

Whether its a 5-10 second burst and a single hit.

Thanks!

thas not a single dmg…its a channeling skill with no cd…. like mesmer 1 or ele scepter 1….somehow the damage add up on screen if you keep using it…but not on the log..

As a WvWvW player i dont give a kitten of FGS! My fear is about Tornado!
I hope they are not going to disable Tornado+Meteor Shower combo or eles are left without any good elite skill . This is mosly the only reason to use tornado for an ele ( except push down ppl from the rope ! XDD ) . Plus i use it only for the duration of the meteor shower , once meteor shower is finished i switch out of tornado, that’s all the tornado is good for.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Tornado

Weapon strength is set at 811.
Base Power is tripled.
Base Precision is doubled.
Base Vitality is doubled.

• Due to to the power multiplier while under the effects of the transform, Tornado can be used with damage over time skills like Meteor Shower as damage is calculated dynamically.

my face right now : O___________o

my face 1 second after : buauhahuahuhauhauhau XXXXXDDD

okok i go make my video….

ETA : 1 year

At this point i think we should try to move the WvW community somewhere else. Everyone in this forum should put in his signature the community address site and just hop in here to say " the discussion is here…"
maybe in a forum where :
1) we are not censored
2) the forum search functions works
3) where ppl can read all your concern without warring of the policy.

i mean…. we get no feedback….no progress… what the point to waste time write here?

what do you think?

tnx all

can someone kindly tell me how do I know if a thread already exists? given that research in the forum does not work?

meanwhile in the general forum….
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Feedback-Questions-MegaServer/page/47#post4246210

why the sticky post its only for wvw forum?
can ppl necro there?

AHH- first and foremost. Companies make games to MAKE MONEY. If they can’t make money at making games, games will die. “The Suits” are there to make sure that happens.

And this I understand totally.

And IF I did primarily PvP I would be happy due to the inclusion of the tracks as it shows they are trying to improve that aspect of the game

Or IF I did primarily PvE I would be happy because even though there are still some major bugs that need squashing and some bad decisions (non-xp mobs??) it also shows they are trying to improve that aspect of the game.

BUT I primarily spend my time in WvW and even though they tried to add EoTM as a solution to queues all it did was make Queensdale train part deux. The last tournament was a badly though up joke in that fixing and spying was the theme of the tournament. The entire WvW forum is so devoid of dev presence (is there even a WvW dev anymore?) at this point even posting in there seems a futile experiment in narcissism. Also we were told that a new CDI was in the works for when the last tournament ended; another letdown.

So even though I have supported ANet in the past with money, unless something is done to answer real concerns of the WvW community at this point I will put my wallet away to vote my disapproval.

Thank you for your post. I completely share your thought.Also was a suprise i’m not alone here.

‘This LS will bring nowhere’? What? What do you mean?

Anet cant satisfy players in this way…unless they bring out a new story every week.

so after you played 10 min story…your game is on forum? speculating , reading ,writing.

nice game

yeah you are right maybe its me…in the wrong forum…or maybe wrong game (i didnt want to park myselft in a Hello kitty online game). Or at least this was unexpeted….but now i start see the direction of this game.

i wonder when ppl will realize this LS will bring nowhere and when anet will back on their old track….
there are thousand of game out there with a better story…and my heart bleed when i see such a beatiful game potential wasted in this way.
There is no endgame in this. OP is right , 2 month ( or more ) for development to play a 10 min story? endgame ? repeat over and over.
Anet cant satisfy players in this way…unless they bring out a new story every week.

First there are not thousands of MMOs with a better story and comparing MMOs to single player games isn’t really cool, because they’re different animals. An MMO that’s story driven is pretty rare.

Secondly many of us, including me, play this game because there is not end game. It’s one of the things the game was sold on. I guarantee you if they make this game for players like you they’ll lose a lot of players like me.

yeah this game was sold also to become an esport . lol

yessss plz thisss + 1000000

well there is a reason why they dont fix this :
no color rotation = more unhappy player = more trasfer = more chance someone buy gems

like messed up matchup(population balance) :
more stale matchup = more unhappy player = more chance someone buy gems

edit: yeah agree with Karuna.1357. Sorry saw your post later

i’m bored of this …. yeah a new season of crap. They sold us a pvp game ( e-sport bla bla) and now we have nothing more than a pve game.

"
Call me biased, but I was under the impression that the hype surrounding Guild Wars 2 was all about its World verse World PvP system. This was the big selling point, the killer feature that would change the MMORPG genre and save us from the horrid existence of theme-park games, but after reading a post on ScaryWorld’s I’m not so sure.

I never even really considered that PvE would be the reason for some people to be excited about GW2. I mean, been there done that, right? Sure PvE is a must have and ArenaNet is adding their own features and flavor to it, but in the end, it’s just more PvE. There’s dozens of other games that have great PvE, but not one triple A title I would consider to have great PvP, with the exception of Eve Online of course.

To be honest, if Guild Wars 2 didn’t have WvsW, I don’t know for sure if I’d even try it out. So how about you? Are you guys excited for PvP (WvW) or the PvE system? and if PvE, why? "

Pinkamena Diane Pie.8054:

It has come to the point that as WvW has not received real updates since launch that we ourselves would not mind doing the testing.

I can appreciate that many people don’t like EotM, but don’t conflate a lack of updates that you personally like with a lack of updates. WvW has added a great deal of content and rewards over just the last calendar year.

Hopefully you will find more you like in future updates and we’ll continue to add to the game.

Talking about EotM being a WvW update is just silly. Dont get me wrong, but EotM have NOTHING to do with WvW.

EotM have close to non existent impact in real matchups. Actually, EotM drain players from the game mode to a big and pointless free for all.

EotM have nothing to do with the weekly matchup. No server rivalry, no real score system to the real matchup… EotM means close to nothing to WvW scene.

How can you say that “World vs World vs World” has added a great deal of content when you drain players from the game mode to a map where the “worlds” (AkA servers) are not there?

Seriously.. when I see a comment like this it just makes clear how ANET deals with wvw scene.
And what to say about megaservers and how it hurts the recruitment scene in general?
And the lack of support to GvGs on the game called GUILD WARS? (dont try to fool anyone with Obsidiam Sanctum, we need a real game mode that allows guilds to fight across tiers)

seriously………

really… i was thinking the same, how can you talk of wvwvw map with this map out PPT? out of the system? its a FFA pve map. if so , put that in the PPT and we will start see what change. At least you can say you are working on PTT tweaking.

yeah very nice ty.

Seafarer’s Rest
Meta done 10/10
No chest
Never trasferred

yeah… i think almost every wvwvw player feels at the same way right now….i was so hyped after reading that news ( check my signature )…but now after almost one 1year we still are in the “Current State” and i can only conclude they were only a bunch of “good word”.

no one else has noticed this weird trend?

+ the game opens in China
+ A horde of goldseller reappears
+ Black lion trader spam
+ Advertise on news exchange gold / gem
+ Collaborators anet appear much less on the forum

could be nothing but it’s really weird.

Flytrap.8075:

Awesome post.

Unfortunately, ANet has made it pretty clear that they’re only interested in Gem Store updates and PvE zergfests. I guess we can always hope for some exciting WvW content, but I’m not going to hold my breath.

you’re right, I spent a lot of 50 euro per month on this game. To me this is not ‘the only way to buy skins that I like or weapons that I want but it was also a way to support the producer of this game knowing the model that supports. As I have said in many other posts I mostly play WvW and currently I feel “abandoned.” From now on I will not spend a cent more until I see some definite improvements in this mode of play and encourage everyone to do so.
So we’ll see if we are the “minority” that does not bring money to the game.

i dont understand what are you trying to point out but this cant be in any way their excuse to improve this game mod.please…there is always someone not happy about change….just check pve forum.

i’m wondering if this game still have a wvw team…

any problem with this game and 3840×2160 resolution? is that supported?Any problem reported from owners plz ?
thank you

Hello everyone, sorry but this is not fair. How many of you have said we have no right to compensation. But I like many others have spent a lot of time to create these weapons. An fair solution would be to make the skin reachable on different characters, but not 2 at the same time if you’ve built one weapon. Maybe I misunderstood the news and will not be applied in this way, but I think this is the biggest problem of the holders of two legendary weapons.

you “really need”….yeah plz tell me for what..tell me why you need more than othes….hahaha..also price are controlled by market rule and with the release of the wardrobe system everyone is going to make a legendary and everyone want a precursor. So no wonder why is growing….if you think price are controlled or leave them there…but bet someone else will buy it instead of you.

Let’s see a thing, 2 days ago i saw in the case of Dawn a stock of 7 (that were the cheapest listings) disappear in 10 minutes, after that by curiosity i open the TP again and check, and, oh dear… Someone posted those 7 Dawns again for +250G (and those were now, the cheapest offer).
I don’t believe it’s a coincidence, i believe it’s the Precursor price being manipulated.

And when i said “really need” i meant the ones who are not buying them just for the sake of re-sell.

so …. what …. should this be illegal for you? i call this an investment…someone was smart…

Event and Champion Loot

With the changes we’re making that remove some of the systems that take gold out of the economy, we need to make sure the economy remains balanced in terms of gold input as well. We’ll be reducing the amount of raw gold that comes out of champion loot bags and events in an effort to keep the economy balanced and spread out player activity a bit.
